1902 officers sword, presentation model to '74 USMA grad

I've had many named '02's and a few presentation models from the pre-WWII era. Honestly didn't realize they still made these in the Vietnam era! This is a beautiful E.F. Horster Germany made gilded presentation grade sword name on the etched blade. Looked the guy up and he was West Point class of 1974.

Neat sword!

Wow. I didn't realize either that they still made such elaborate swords so recently. Really nice.

Ditto.

These are always nice looking and mostly pre-WW2

I believe you can still special order them from Marlowe White.

Not nice like that. The last place I know of was the Ames Sword Company that went out of business a few years ago.
